8/02 SOX @ Yankems

[jacksonianmarch]

Paxton’s lack of velocity is very concerning.

Not saying it's the same thing as Sale, but that's how his elbow/UCL issues started last year. First warning sign of a potential TJS

[Maxbialystock]

The entire SOX team tested positive before the game. Yup, they were all positive that the season will be cancelled.

 

What season? This is just spring training, and it's pretty clear these guys won't be ready for the real season. Peraza just made his 4th error and then left a runner on 2b. Hall was doing OK against Judge until he decided to throw a roaring 89 mph fast ball about waist high on the inside corner. One redeeming feature tonight: no Benintendi.

Only to Yankem fans, like yourself. I personally couldn't care less.

Didn't he also have a crack in his back and Yankee fans just assumed he'd come back as good as usual?

You're right. Using the word 'season' is misleading.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Damn, still too early to let Workman finish the game.

Don’t give a s*** what it is. We’ve got enough arms in the caddy squad to give a shot to. Paxton has looked really bad from day 1. He’s an FA after the year. If he’s damaged, just shut him down and bring up the kids

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

The SOX Pig Pen will be busy tonight.

I still think the SOX should sign Arnold Ziffel, unless someone has already had him for dinner.

I have State Farm insurance and I'm not happy my premiums are being used to fund their crappy commercials. Where's Stan Freberg when you need him? Edited August 3, 2020 by SPLENDIDSPLINTER

Oh You Tee Out

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Brooks Devers.

Stevie Wonder Devers.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

X-Man will retire as a SOX; and rightly so.

That pitch to Bogie is where Sox hurlers have been throwing to Judge all weekend. Good hitters -- translation MLB hitters -- don't miss meatballs.

[5GoldGlovesOF,75]

Classy, ESPN, showing the Boone pitch on Wakefield's birthday. They couldn't show him dealing when he won two of the first four games of the same series.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

That was a real oinker. A pig on the mound and a pig at the plate.

"Good hitters--translation MLB hitters" may have been true back when MLB had 16 teams. Today, not so much.

[jacksonianmarch]

I’m liking what I’ve seen from King and Nelson. Really excited to see what Schmidt can do if/when he gets up to the majors. Not impressed by Paxton. Velocity is way down

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

If they put a feed bag on Judge, would that qualify as a mask?

[Larry Cook]

Our pitchers really struggle to hit the catcher’s target. Maybe as they throw more, they can refine their pitching to hit spots and quit throwing so many meatballs,

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Except for the pitching part, Walden kind of reminds me of Kelly. Must be the glasses. Edited August 3, 2020 by SPLENDIDSPLINTER

Babe Ruth Devers.

That... wasn't a pop-up. Now which pitchers can get nine more outs for Boston?

Can I call a friend?

[Maxbialystock]

I gotta admit I'm impressed with a 7-6 lead in the 7th. Devers and Bogaerts.

[Maxbialystock]

Walden, Walden, he's our man.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

JBJ playing a lot of golf. Golf is good practice for hockey players. For baseball, bowling is the answer.

A-roid, do you remember when you had the same physique as X-man? You know; before the injections.
